LOVES PARK — The Rockford Aviators seemed to be on cruise control through the first four innings until Schaumburg erased that with a five-run top of the fifth outburst to take the lead and went on to win 7-6 Thursday in Frontier League action.

Edgar Corcino had his sixth home run of the year with a three-run blast in the bottom of the first to put the Aviators up 3-0.

The Boomers responded in the top of the third when they loaded the bases, but were able to only push one run across on an RBI fielder’s choice by Tyler Sciacca.

The Aviators pushed two more runs across in the bottom of he third inning on a two-RBI double by Kenny Bryant to take a 5-1 lead. In the bottom of the fourth, the Aviators scored another run on a RBI single by Mason Morioka to lead 6-1.

But it was the top of the fifth inning where things fell apart for the Aviators, as the Boomers scored five runs on seven hits, highlighted by a two-run home run by Justin Vasquez, as the Aviators saw their five-run lead disappear.

The Boomers finished things off in the top of the seventh inning when Michael Valadez sent a RBI sacrifice fly that scored Joe De Pinto to give the Boomers the lead for the first time, 7-6.
